We had the good fortune of connecting with Jasmine Small and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jasmine, Let’s talk about principles and values – what matters to you most?
Patience. I believe patience is a necessity in life because it provides endurance for life’s trials and tribulations. It provides strength in difficult times and aids in remembering that an individual cannot control time. Staying patient with oneself, others, and in all circumstances assists in self-awareness and maturity.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?

I am excited about my overall future. While I am happy to be at the point I am in life, I realize there is always room for personal growth. I got to this point by staying focused, clearing distractions, and having faith. None of this was easy, yet my faith has taken me a long way in enduring life’s trials and tribulations. I’ve learned not to worry about others’ opinions and to live the life I want to live. I hope my story inspires others to unapologetically be themselves, no matter what others’ opinions may be.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend came to visit, the first place we’d go is the nail salon to get our nails and feet done. We would probably end up at a hookah lounge to relax even more. I’d love to take them to one of the many events Atlanta has to offer, such as a festival or a laid-back lounge.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to give a shoutout to my two angels watching over me. To my mom and grandma who have passed away, I pray that you both are looking down on me and proud of the woman I am becoming.
